Tim Buckley - Once I Was

Tim Buckley - Once I Was

Lyrics:

Once I was a soldier
And I fought on foreign sands for you
Once I was a hunter
And I brought home fresh meat for you
Once I was a lover
And I searched behind your eyes for you
And soon there'll be another
To tell you I was just a lie

And sometimes I wonder
Just for a while
Will you remember me

And though you have forgotten
All of our rubbish dreams
I find myself searching
Through the ashes of our ruins
For the days when we smiled
And the hours that ran wild
With the magic of our eyes
And the silence of our words

And sometimes I wonder
Just for a while
Will you remember me

@DeepestSleep when did jeff buckley die?...omg

[DeepestSleep]

Tim, and then Jeff.. how tragic. My love goes out to them both.

Beautiful tenor voices during the 60's folkie era were a dime a dozen, but somehow Buckley's stood out as did his life, which was cut short tragically at 28 yrs old.

Remember all those who fought for us! Happy Veterans day!

I fell deeply in love with the woman who first introduced me to Tim Buckley. She left, but he remained. And does. Angelic.

@stevekon11 'I find myself searching...for days when we smiled...and the hours than ran wild... with the magic of our eyes...and sometimes I wonder... just for awhile...will you ever... remember me' I was a fan of Tim Buckley from the time his first album came out. I'll NEVER FORGET Tim Buckley and I'll forever miss those days that ran wild.

This song makes me think of lost loves....in the days that ran wild.
